Lyngstrand - The Dying Mermaid
On re-reading the play, it seems to me that Lyngstrand ends as the mermaid dying in brackish waters: as he says, "The last voyage this year." Our would-be sculptor has become a 3D art-work in his own person and predicament. Mr Ballested has his model at last! Any comments?

Marriage is rarely a free choice
Ellida Wangel marries Doctor Wangel for reasons other than love. A not uncommon story perhaps. But a fantastic nautical stranger rescues ensnared Ellida from her self-imposed prison, her personal purgatory. So, in the end, salvation. But what about the rest of us?
